Jackie Robinson was a dam good player who was the first black player (by 6 months) in MLB.
He made it to the hall of fame and he had his number retired by every
MLB team.
Why every team.... wasn't the Dodgers enough?
This is his 62nd year anniversary and I believe the Red Sox are planning
some type of celebration.
Will year number 62 be any different than 63, or 64?
It is not the 50th, 75th, or 100th.
Why does MLB feel the need to celebrate him every year?
Why do the Red Sox honor him?
He didn't even play for the Red Sox.
How many people know who Willie O'Ree is?
He was the first black player in the NHL.
He played for the Bruins, and we never hear of him.
He is no different than Jackie Robinson, without the hype.
Jackie Robinson was a dam good player, but he was no Ted Williams !
Lets not forget, Ted game up the prime of his career to defend his country.
Jackie was the first black in MLB by 6 months.....
Jackie Robinson has been honored, & honored & honored.
He has been honored more than any player in sports History !
Enough is enough !
